Relinquishing attachments

Attachment cannot completely be relinquished with the help of present kinetic mind because as long as Prana remains dynamic, the mind remains kinetic. As long as the mind is kinetic, attachments will prevail till then. Passion, anger, greed, illusion, arrogance, envy, mind, intelligence, intellect, pride, hunger, thirst, sleep, sloth, visualisation, audition, olfaction, thoughts, anxieties, attachment, love, affection, vanity, body consciousness etc. all types of physical and mental propensities and dispositions which are existent have all been derived from the dynamic Prana. In a word, all that can be observed in a living state, have all originated from the vibratory Prana.

Immediately after birth, Prana becomes active and breathing commences. As long as Prana will remain dynamic, till then breathing will continue and a living being will remain alive. Therefore as long as Prana remains vibratory or breathing continues, till then all the aforementioned types of physical and mental propensities and dispositions will be prevalent.

Again the more Pranakarma is practised, the more Prana will progress towards stillness.

The more progress is made towards stillness the more those propensities and dispositions will decrease.

In this manner when Prana becomes completely still or there is cessation of vibration, then none of them will exist as in a still Prana any type of propensity or body-consciousness does not prevail. This is the true purification of the elements.

After vibration has been exterminated, this five-elemental body becomes purified. Therefore the dead loses all kinds of differentiation. Again this is the real Upavasa (fasting). Upa means near. When Prana becomes still, settlement occurs near the soul. Abstinence from food is not the actual fasting or Upavasa, again Prana is the Purohita, (Puro means body-abode and hita means benefaction) because He is the only One to dwell in this body-abode and when He becomes still the actual benefit or welfare to a living being occurs, therefore He is regarded as the living being’s Benefactor.

Prana maintains an equilibrium on either side, one is dynamic, the other still. If one side increases, the other side decreases.

Thus one devotee asked Him – “By what means can this restless mind remain quite well?” Yogiraj rejoined – “If there is an absence of the mind’s existence.”
